How to Apply

Complete the Application Process

Two letters of recommendation are required from any person who can attest to your readiness for seminary education (no family members). Examples include ministry/church contacts, mentors or past faculty. Recommendations will be generated and emailed to your recommenders through the online application. You may also download a paper copy if you require it.

NOTE: Students applying under the special admission category will also submit a 2,000-2,500-word essay (approximately 10 pages double-spaced) on a theological topic that has been mutually agreed upon after consultation with the admissions liaison. Download the guidelines for special admission.

Next Steps

Once the admissions office has received all the components of your completed application, your file will be submitted to the faculty admissions committee for review. You will be notified once you are accepted into Northeastern Seminary, at which time you will need to complete the accepted student checklist.

If you have any questions, please contact the admissions office at 585.594.6802 or admissions@nes.edu.
